Aave resistance level at $390 has once again proven a formidable barrier, with the DeFi token sharply rejecting the mark and falling toward critical support at $227.
The rejection ends Aave’s latest attempt to reclaim yearly highs, with the $390 zone acting as unbroken resistance since early 2025. Following the failed breakout, the loss of the value area accelerated the correction, pushing price action back into a crucial support cluster.
In its latest market update, Aave highlighted the technical landscape: “The $227 region reflects a key confluence of the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the high-low structural level, making it a critical foundation for the bullish market structure.”
This confluence gives the $227 level significant technical weight. Holding the zone would preserve the broader uptrend, defined by higher highs and higher lows. However, volume remains the key factor. The correction has so far lacked sustained inflows, but renewed demand will be needed to confirm a reversal and sustain continuation.
Looking ahead, if Aave defends $227 with strong buying activity, price could rotate higher and retest $390 resistance. A clean breakout above that level would open the door for higher targets, reinforcing the bullish case. Failure to defend $227, however, risks invalidating the structure and setting up a deeper correction.
